The entire San Jose State football team piled into busses after Tuesday’s practice to head down the street to the movies. Dozens of players and coaches from at least eight other teams at San Jose State filled the nearly 300 seats at Camera 12 Cinemas.

They were treated to a special advance screening of “When the Game Stands Tall,” the movie that will be released nationally on Friday and highlights the De La Salle High football program formerly coached by SJSU alum Bob Ladouceur.

Legendary De La Salle High coach Bob Ladouceur will speak about his time at San Jose State and his coaching career on Tuesday before a screening of the movie, “When the Game Stands Tall,” at Camera 12 Cinemas in downtown San Jose.

Ladouceur, who was inducted into San Jose State’s hall of fame last year, played defensive back for two years for the Spartans in 1975-76 before beginning a coaching career that featured 399 wins, a national-record 151-game winning streak and five state championships.

Lad will speak at 6:30 p.m. and the movie screening will begin at 7 p.m. All San Jose State students, student-athletes, coaches and staff are invited to attend. Seating is available for the first 250 in attendance.
